New planks from DPS. A charging wailer -- Video

  • 2012-07-18 20:36:07

    Our buds at DPS are putting out a new ski this season and they asked that we pass this along. The ski is a tweak of their popular Wailer 112 RP. This ski has similar dimensions but has been adjusted into more of a charging ski; hence, the name 112 RPC ("c" for charge). The RPC is for people who might like to make tighter turns and ski on cut up snow and crud rather than just pow. Anyhow, the video explains where the ski might fit into your quiver better than I can, so watch. If you want these under your feet this season, now is the time to order 'em. Check back with backcountryskiingcanada.com later in the season for a review of this, or another, DPS ski.
